2016 Thor 22e Class C Entry Door Handle problem.

Question

So went to open the house entry door today and nothing happened. The latch moves but it's not pulling the bolt. Both sides not working. Little research and I find it's a Trimark 60-650 door handle (pretty sure anyway). As I read the reviews I see some folks are replacing these things quite often. One gent 3 times so far. Average price looks like $95. Is there a better/stronger handle I can replace this with? I'll have to pay more but it's better than getting locked out in the boonies somewhere.
Correction. Mine has the lock/unlock symbols stamped over the left keyhole and that matches the RV Designer T507 handle which had some bad reviews on Amazon.

Repllace it.  Buy two, carry a spare.

And always leave at least on window unlocked, so someone can crawl in when you get locked out.  Easy to replace one, but you have to be inside to do it.  If you are inside, its fairly easy to get the door open without damage.  from outside, almost impossible.

On a Class C, just stash a spare key for the cab. Get in that way.

Yeah, buy 2 and keep a spare.. check.  I keep a set of spare keys in a magnetic holder inside my rear 4'' bumper.. check. I bought an extended warranty from the dealer and I'm going to swing by to see if this is covered. If so fine it will save me $100 and Ill use it to buy a spare. If not that it will cost double.. Oh well this is the last thing I thought would break and have to carry spare in my tool kit.

Take the broken latch bolt to a machine shop and ask them to make one like it from a stronger material such as one of the stainless steel alloys.
